Start your day at as early as four in the morning or as late as eleven at night, change to clothes that are dirty and torn, work for twelve hours straight, carry a huge plastic bag on your shoulder, keep your eyes on the ground, pick all the salable ... Read more >

I have a lot of content hanging around from my 2007 trip to Europe. We’ve gone from London to Rome. There are plenty of awesome and historical places in Rome, I remember seeing them and being amazed, but my 24 year old self got stuck on the ... Read more >

IM SO EXCITED TO SEE MADDIE & JAKE! It’s been a little while since I’ve seen somebody from home & I know with them its guaranteed going to be a fun time!

We are from a place so deific; here, where the air is enriched with the sweetness rendered by Nature that has bounced off from the rolling hills onto the flowing rivers to us; the cycle thus so repeating in oneself. We are from a land of serendipity ... Read more >

"Well, this is some nice, flat, forest walking," I muse.
"Yeah, it can't last forever," Dad responded quickly, like we'd been having the same thoughts.
We knew a mountain summit was in today's section of the 3-day, 30-kilometer hike we'd started, ... Read more >

Five boyfriends ago, I used to think that walking sticks -- err, trekking poles -- were dorky, overpriced and pointless. I'm not old, so why do I need sticks to help me hike? But then he invited me on a backpacking trip, and he convinced me not to ... Read more >

Hmm where to start. I think I left off with my first couple of days in Barcelona. I did quite a bit while I was there but I hope to visit again because I feel like there was so much other ood but it's entirely possible. Now, this cool s**t that I wasn't ... Read more >

So I´m recapping the last couple of days of been here. Internet has been a bit of an issue but I think from now on I should be okay. Firewalls and my tablet just not connecting to routers seem to have been the the culprit in most cases. My host ... Read more >

1. All Asian countries have their "own time" when doing things. A bus meant to leave at 8am will most probably not leave at 8am . It might leave at 8.30am . It might leave at 9am . Accept that lateness is ... Read more >

Hapiness eludes me
No matter the place
The vocation
The person
The lanuguage
The light explodes
My heart sings
For a brief moment
And then
No more

A white-bearded sweet old man with a genuine heart An elephant walking down a highway 19 people crammed into a single rickshaw An old man pushing his pedal bike uphill An entire family that thinks a white person is a zoo animal 4 religions living in ... Read more >

I am going to really struggle with writing this blog post simply because the experience was indescribable. I don’t think my writing will do it justice but with the help of some really good describing words hopefully I will paint the picture for ... Read more >

Zambia.
This blog post is going to be short and sweet as nothing really happened through the rest of Zambia.
This country is extensive so it is mainly long driving days and lots of time spent on the truck. I spent most of my days reading and getting ... Read more >

Woo hoo! Something new for my trip up North, we didn’t do this part of the journey down South. It’s hard to fit it in so we bypass and head straight on. I have to say though that I am glad that on the way up we find the time to stop in. Only ... Read more >

Livingstone, Zambia!
Sitting on the shores of the Zambezi river with a view to the Smoke That Thunders (Mosi O Tunya) I have to say that Zambia is another highlight. I have spent many more days here than usual and I am ready to get back on the road ... Read more >

Kande Beach, Malawi!!
On route to Zambia this morning after having spent 3 amazing nights in Malawi at Kande Beach. Malawi still remains to be a highlight for me so far. It definitely just got better and better as the days went on. If you haven’... Read more >
